Although the wood industry in China has made great progress, but still enormous challenges, such as environmental protection, the high cost of real estate demand growth slowed, woodworking product development imbalance, lack of innovation ability. In this context, green manufacturing has become the only way for the future development of the industry.

At present, China is the world's largest production base of wood processing, wood products and wood products processing the main exporter, is also one of the largest buyers of timber, artificial board, furniture, flooring production has been ranked in the world.

After continuous development, China's wood processing industry also presents the following three characteristics. First, resources are relatively stable, good prospects for development, changed the small, scattered, short, chaotic situation, the development of leading enterprises, promote the deep processing of products, building products association, long industrial chain, high value-added wood processing industry structure.

Secondly, the rough machining will change to the deep processing, and the development potential will be enhanced. In loose rough machining, low value-added production challenges, enterprises begin to change the development of ideas, increase investment in the development of new products, changes from coarse processing to deep processing, and constantly improve the technological content and added value of products, improve product market share and competitive force, and enhance enterprise development.

Thirdly, the leading enterprises cluster has not yet formed. The basis of wood processing industry is not solid enough, the industry characteristics show that the overall competitiveness of the market is not strong, more vulnerable enterprises. Part of the wood processing enterprises has reached a certain scale, but the production failed to reflect, therefore, the formation of wood processing enterprises cluster as soon as possible, accurately reflect the enterprise's production, achieve up production and efficiency is an important problem facing the wood processing industry.

Industry development trend and Prospect

According to the development characteristics of wood processing industry and the demand of the downstream market in the future, the wood processing industry in China will have several development trends.

First, competition within the industry continues to increase. Our country is engaged in wood processing enterprises have thousands, competitive pressure is very great, but most of the wood processing enterprises in China are small and medium-sized enterprises, price competition, product homogeneity serious, intensified competition within the industry.

Secondly, brand building is strengthened. Brand strength, many companies began to pay attention to the brand construction, the enterprise can bring brand competitive advantage constantly enlarged, the success of the brand into the heart.

Thirdly, the trend of Internet is strengthened. Wood processing industry network marketing is a new thing, along with the development of science and technology, Home Furnishing building materials enterprises more open online sales channels, no entity shop online direct marketing.

Finally, the degree of automation deepened. China's enterprises can increase the automation production line development and investment, to reduce labor costs, improve efficiency, improve the production efficiency, the use of raw materials, and gradually realize the automation, modernization and intelligent wood industry.

Driven by the above trends, the growth rate of China's wood processing industry in the next few years will be 5%-10%. In 2022, the industry sales scale will reach about 2 trillion and 180 billion yuan.
